Digital BW, The Print

Russ,

I had exactly the same experience.  The flashing lights are known as a
³fatal error.²   I hope your printer is under warranty.

The message that comes up in this condition is that there may be a foreign
object blocking travel of the print head; I assume that this is not true in
your case.  No missing socks, right?  There is one other possibility that
Epson doesn¹t mention.  Check that the ink cartridge cover is firmly snapped
in place.  If it is not, the head cannot return to its proper position.

If you¹ve passed this test, there is only one way forward: call Epson for a
replacement.  Under warranty, they will immediately ship a new
(refurbished?) printer, instructions and all materials for returning, via
FedEx, the faulty one.  Be aware that they will hold your credit card
hostage until they receive the faulty one.  I found that process
straightforward.

Good luck.

Harry
